TAN): Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has enhanced its Latitudes Rewards Program for cruisers, featuring a redesigned tier structure to make achieving the next status easier than ever before and a whole host of new benefits.
The refreshed programme now features seven tiers, including a brand-new Diamond status as well as Sapphire, which replaces the previous Platinum Plus tier. Almost all tiers now feature a reduced points requirement to unlock each new status level, allowing guests to enjoy exclusive rewards faster. For example, Silver status is now available to guests with 20 Rewards Points, compared to 30 previously, allowing guests who book a 10-day voyage in a suite to automatically reach Silver status after a single cruise.

Other benefits Latitudes members will continue to enjoy as they move up the ranks include members-only cocktail parties, complimentary specialty dining and laundry service plus priority tender and disembarkation, as well as enjoy discounted shore excursions, duty-free shopping, photo packages and spa treatments.
